Amanda with Sunflowers Paint-By-Number Kit
At the age of 22 Amanda Gorman became the youngest known poet to speak at a presidential inauguration. Her words of unity and reconciliation inspired a nation. Her work focuses on issues of oppression, race, and feminism. Raised by a single mother in Los Angeles, Amanda credits music and oration with helping her to overcome a speech impediment that hindered her from giving voice to her words. Amanda has said that she plans to run for president herself in 2036.
“Being American is more than a pride we inherit,
It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.”
From The Hill We Climb, by Amanda Gorman
